Uber’s Rates and Credits

In July 2015, a false advertising class-action lawsuit was filed against Uber. Specifically, the complaint alleges that Uber advertises its prices are 30% cheaper than cabs for specific routes when such claims are actually not true during certain peak times. In addition, plaintiffs claim that Uber gives consumers credits for referring new business to the company without adequately disclosing that these credits have an expiration date. (Devermont et al v. Uber Technologies Inc., N.A., A San Francisco Corp. and Does 1-100, Case No. BC588096, Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles)
